Within the palace of the Blood Gnome King, the two remaining Demon race emissaries were extremely tense.
They had lost contact with the three who had ventured out, and silence now reigned where communication should have been.
The Blood Gnome King's face remained calm, but there was a slight tremor in his hand gripping the greatsword, betraying a hint of his inner tension.
After a while, one of the Demon race emissaries spoke up,
"We can't just sit here waiting.
The three who left have not returned, nor have they sent any message. It's likely that they have failed. I even fear that they might have been annihilated by Sebastian.
Had they not been defeated, surely one of them would have returned with news by now."
The other Demon race emissary seemed hesitant, clearly finding reason in his counterpart's words. However, they were at a loss for what action to take.
